What is the SWCR?

The St. Williams Conservation Reserve includes 1035 hectares of Crown land in Norfolk County, Ontario. The Reserve is made up of two separate sites: the Nursery Tract and the Turkey Point Tract.

Our primary objective is to restore and enhance the native ecological communities at this site, which will benefit the many rare and threatened species that live here.
